      @Eric-Katzfey I understand that but do you know why the controller inputs arent being received by the drone? We have no idea what is causing this.

        @daniellee I don't know what that means. If you can see the RC sticks / switches at QGC then PX4 has to be seeing them. What happens when you try to arm the drone from QGC?

          @Eric-Katzfey It gets armed but the drone does not fly/respond to the controller inputs.

            @daniellee Ah, okay, now we're getting somewhere. If it is arming that means you see the propellers spinning? Can you send me the log file from px4? (Look in /data/px4/logs).

              @Eric-Katzfey Hi Eric Im not at the computer right now and the px4 logs are the same as the ones above, the props arent spinning even when armed on QGroundControl.

                  @Eric-Katzfey I have the PX4 log files in a zipped folder but I do not see a way to upload them to the forum.

                    @Eric-Katzfey Hello Eric I have downloaded the PX4 logs- I managed to get a link for one of the logs, the internal timestamp is messed up and I believe this is the most recent one. Here is the link : https://logs.px4.io/plot_app?log=db2c6cd3-f6c9-4bf8-b5bc-dc5ac185c752

                      @Eric-Katzfey said in Issues with controller and drone:

                      In your earlier screen shot voxl-px4, and voxl-mavlink-server were both enabled and running.

                      Just to be clear, that image you are referencing was the second photo related to the voxl-inspect-services after I enabled and started the px4 service. The first photo shows it not enabled and not running.

                      Upon power cycling, I have to enable it every time we attempt to fly.

                        @daniellee This log shows a normal flight happening in altitude hold mode. RC inputs are coming in and motors are spinning. Was there some issue with the flight this log was captured from?
